Alternative performance measures
An alternative performance measure (an APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance,
financial position or cash flows other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable recognized
accounting standards or in other applicable regulations. A number of APMs are reported in UBS’s external reports
(annual, quarterly and other reports). APMs are used to provide a more complete picture of operating performance
and to reflect management’s view of the fundamental drivers of the business results. A definition of each APM, the
method used to calculate it and the information content are presented under “Alternative performance measures”
in the appendix to this report. These APMs may qualify as non-GAAP measures as defined by US Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.
Comparability
Comparative information in this report is presented as follows.
Profit and loss information and other flow-based information for the third quarter of 2025, the second quarter of
2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024 is based entirely on consolidated data following the merger of UBS AG and
Credit Suisse AG. Profit and loss information and other flow-based information for the nine-month period ending
30 September 2024 includes only four months of post-merger UBS AG data.
Balance sheet information as at 30 September 2025, 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 includes post-merger
consolidated information.

Recent developments
Management report
Integration of Credit Suisse
We remain on track to substantially complete the integration of Credit Suisse by the end of 2026, and our focus
continues to be on client account migrations and infrastructure decommissioning.
In the third quarter of 2025, and over the course of October 2025, we successfully advanced our Swiss business
migrations, having now migrated over two-thirds of the targeted client accounts. We still aim to complete the Swiss
booking center migrations by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
Furthermore, we have substantially completed the integration of Asset Management, including the final portfolio
migrations onto UBS platforms.
Regulatory and legal developments
Developments in Switzerland aimed at strengthening financial stability
In September 2025, the Swiss Federal Council launched a public consultation on proposed legislative amendments
to capital requirements related to foreign subsidiaries. The proposed changes would require the deduction of
investments in foreign subsidiaries of systemically important banks (SIBs) from common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital.
After the end of the public consultation in January 2026, the Swiss Federal Council is expected to submit its proposal
to the Swiss Parliament in the first half of 2026. Subject to the Parliament’s final decision, the proposal states that
the amendments would enter into force in 2028, at the earliest, starting with a 65% deduction requirement in the
first year and increasing to 100% by 5-percentage-point increments each year over seven years. The phase-in is
subject to adjustment should the legislation be delayed.
A public consultation on other proposed measures at the ordinance level ended in September 2025. The proposals
include provisions to deduct capitalized software and deferred tax assets (DTAs) on temporary differences from
CET1 capital, add stricter requirements for prudent valuation adjustments (PVAs) of assets and liabilities, and
mandate the suspension of interest payments for additional tier 1 capital instruments in the event of a cumulative
loss over four quarters. The proposals also introduce measures that aim to enable the Swiss Financial Market
Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and other authorities to better assess the situation of banks in a liquidity crisis. The
entry into force of the above is expected in January 2027, at the earliest.
A public consultation by the Swiss Federal Council is expected to be launched in the first half of 2026 on additional
legislative measures, including incremental requirements for the recovery and resolution plans of SIBs, measures
aimed at increasing the potential for obtaining liquidity via the Swiss National Bank, the introduction of an enhanced
accountability framework in the form of a Senior Managers Regime for banks, and the provision of additional
powers for FINMA. We expect the Swiss Federal Council’s submission of these legislative measures to the Parliament
in the first half of 2027, with the entry into force expected in 2028 or 2029.
In addition, a public consultation on amendments to the Liquidity Ordinance is expected to be launched in the first
half of 2026. The proposals are expected to set minimum requirements for maintaining borrowing capacity for
emergency liquidity assistance.
Based on financial information published for the first quarter of 2025 and given UBS AG’s target CET1 capital ratio
of between 12.5% and 13%, UBS AG would be required to hold additional estimated CET1 capital of around
USD 24bn on a pro-forma basis if all capital measures were to be implemented as proposed. This would include
around USD 23bn related to the full deduction of UBS AG’s investments in foreign subsidiaries, of which
approximately USD 7bn would be required at the start of the proposed phase-in period. These pro-forma figures
reflect previously announced expected capital repatriations of around USD 5bn to UBS AG from its subsidiaries.
UBS AG third quarter 2025 report |
The incremental CET1 capital of around USD 24bn required for UBS AG, given our aim to maintain an equity double
leverage ratio of around 100% at UBS Group AG, would result in a CET1 capital ratio at the UBS Group AG
(consolidated) level of around 19%. At Group level, the proposed measures related to DTAs on temporary
differences, capitalized software and PVAs would eliminate capital recognition for these items, thereby reducing
the CET1 capital ratio for the Group from around 19% to around 17%, underrepresenting UBS’s capital strength
compared with peers.
The additional capital of USD 24bn would be in addition to the incremental capital that UBS will have to hold as a
result of the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in order to meet existing regulations. This includes around
USD 9bn to remove the regulatory concessions granted to Credit Suisse and around USD 6bn to meet the current
progressive requirements due to the increased leverage ratio denominator (LRD) and higher market share of the
combined business. The estimated effect for the progressive requirements for LRD and market share decreased to
USD 6bn, from USD 9bn, following FINMA’s confirmation about the requirements that will apply to UBS. The phase-
in of the increased capital requirements relating to the increased LRD and higher market share will commence on
1 January 2026 and will be completed by the beginning of 2030, at the latest.
On this basis, UBS would be required to hold around USD 39bn in additional CET1 capital in total.
FINMA resolution report on UBS
In September 2025, FINMA published its 2025 resolution report on UBS related to the 2024 fiscal year. FINMA
concluded that UBS remains resolvable under UBS’s existing preferred resolution strategy, which includes a
recapitalization via a bail-in at the Group holding company level. The Swiss emergency plan of UBS is designed to
ensure the continuity of systemically important functions and critical operations in Switzerland in the case of a failed
attempt to restructure the UBS Group. According to FINMA, this plan was largely compliant with the current
regulatory requirements. However, given the lessons learned from the Credit Suisse crisis, FINMA has determined
that the Swiss emergency plan requires further development to meet the objective of maintaining systemically
important functions while also safeguarding financial stability at the international level. Moreover, FINMA assessed
that UBS’s Swiss emergency plan requires better integration into UBS’s global resolution plan. Due to the ongoing
integration of Credit Suisse into UBS, FINMA has refrained from assessing UBS’s recovery plan, which outlines
measures that aim to restore financial strength if UBS should come under severe capital or liquidity stress.

Updated Federal Reserve Board stress capital buffer requirements
In August 2025, the Federal Reserve Board reduced the stress capital buffer (the SCB) of UBS Americas Holding
LLC, our US-based intermediate holding company, to 5.2%, from 9.3%, applicable from 1 October 2025 under
the Federal Reserve Board’s SCB rule, resulting in a total CET1 capital requirement of 9.7%. The SCB for UBS
Americas Holding LLC is derived from the results of the Federal Reserve Board’s 2025 Dodd–Frank Act Stress Test
(DFAST) released in June 2025.
Earlier in 2025, the Federal Reserve Board proposed measures to reduce the volatility of the SCB requirements by
averaging the capital stress test results from the past two years, with the aim of making capital planning more
predictable for banks. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board proposed moving the effective date for the annual
SCB updates from 1 October to 1 January to allow more time to meet the new requirements. We expect the final
rules to be published in the first half of 2026.
Changes to the UK senior management function and material risk taker compensation schemes
In October 2025, the Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority adopted changes to their
regulations on the compensation of senior managers and material risk takers. The revised regulations generally
reduce the portion of incentive compensation subject to mandatory deferral, reduce the mandatory deferral periods
for incentive compensation to a uniform four years, eliminate post-vesting blocked periods and permit awards to
accrue interest and dividends. Changes are generally effective immediately and companies may elect to apply
certain elements of the revised requirements to awards in the current compensation year, as well as to outstanding
deferred incentive compensation plans. UBS AG is assessing the changes and the related impacts.

Other developments
Completion of obligations under Credit Suisse’s residential mortgage-backed securities settlement with the US
Department of Justice
On 1 August 2025, UBS AG entered into an agreement with the US Department of Justice (the DOJ) under which
UBS AG paid USD 300m to resolve all remaining obligations under Credit Suisse’s 2017 settlement agreement with
the DOJ related to residential mortgage-backed securities activities. The resolution had no effect on UBS AG’s
performance in the third quarter of 2025.
Resolution of legacy French cross-border matter
In September 2025, UBS AG resolved the legacy matter related to its cross-border business activities in France
between 2004 and 2012. As a result, UBS AG agreed to pay a fine of EUR 730m and EUR 105m in civil damages
to the French State in the third quarter of 2025 and recognized a gain of USD 321m (USD 284m in Global Wealth
Management and USD 37m in Personal & Corporate Banking) in connection with the release of a related provision.
In 2023, the French Supreme Court confirmed the Paris Court of Appeal’s decision finding UBS AG guilty of
unlawful client solicitation and aggravated money laundering but referred the financial penalty and civil damages
to be re-assessed by the lower court.
Sale of a 36.01% stake in Credit Suisse Securities (China) Limited
In the third quarter of 2025, UBS AG completed the sale of a 36.01% stake in a subsidiary, Credit Suisse Securities
(China) Limited (CSS), to Beijing State-Owned Assets Management Co., Ltd., as announced on 24 June 2024, and
deconsolidated the entity. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of USD 128m in the Investment Bank. UBS AG retains
a 14.99% shareholding in CSS and accounts for this minority interest as an investment in an associate.
Court ruling related to the write-off of Credit Suisse additional tier 1 capital instruments in 2023
In proceedings initiated by certain former holders of Credit Suisse Group AG additional tier 1 (AT1) capital
instruments against FINMA challenging FINMA’s decree of 19 March 2023 ordering the write-off of CHF 16bn
principal amount of Credit Suisse Group AG’s AT1 instruments, the Swiss Federal Administrative Court published a
partial decision in October 2025. The court determined that FINMA’s order lacked a sufficient legal basis and
revoked FINMA’s decree. FINMA has stated it will appeal the decision to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. UBS also
intends to appeal.
Supplementary 2024 dividend to UBS Group AG
On 23 October 2025, the Extraordinary General Meeting of UBS AG approved a supplementary 2024 dividend of
USD 6,500m. The dividend was paid by UBS AG to its shareholder UBS Group AG on the same day.
Organizational changes
On 24 October 2025, UBS AG announced that Lukas Gähwiler will not stand for re-election to the Board of
Directors of UBS AG and Markus Ronner will be nominated as a new member of the Board of Directors and Vice
Chairman of UBS AG, succeeding Lukas Gähwiler. Markus Ronner is a Swiss citizen and has been with UBS since
1981.

UBS AG third quarter 2025 report |
UBS’s tender offers for debt securities
On 30 October 2025, UBS AG, acting through its Stamford branch, and UBS Group AG announced offers to
repurchase outstanding notes of seven series of senior debt for a maximum purchase consideration of USD 4bn.
The securities subject to the offers and the terms and conditions of the offers are set forth in the offer documents.
The offers are made as part of UBS’s proactive management of its funding and total loss-absorbing capacity, among
other factors, to optimize interest expense. The offers are scheduled to expire on 5 November 2025, unless
extended or earlier terminated. UBS AG expects to record a loss on the purchase and early repayment of these
high-spread securities at above book value. The amount of the loss will vary based on the total consideration that
will be paid.

UBS AG performance, business divisions and Group Items | UBS AG consolidated performance 10
Results: 3Q25 vs 3Q24
Operating profit before tax increased by USD 316m, or 27%, to USD 1,507m, reflecting an increase in total
revenues and a decrease in net credit loss expenses, partly offset by higher operating expenses. Total revenues
increased by USD 449m, or 4%, to USD 12,446m, which included an increase from foreign currency effects. The
increase in total revenues was largely due to an increase of USD 763m in net fee and commission income, partly
offset by decreases of USD 267m in other income. Operating expenses increased by USD 186m, or 2%, to
USD 10,826m and included an increase from foreign currency effects. The overall increase was largely due to an
increase of USD 289m in general and administrative expenses, partly offset by a USD 112m decrease in
depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets. Net credit loss expenses were USD 113m,
compared with USD 167m in the third quarter of 2024.
Integration-related expenses in general and administrative expenses primarily included shared services costs charged
from other companies in the UBS Group reporting scope and consulting, legal and audit fees. Integration-related
personnel expenses were mainly due to salaries and variable compensation and post-employment benefit plans. In
addition, there was accelerated depreciation of properties and leasehold improvements in depreciation,
amortization and impairment of non-financial assets. Integration items within revenues included a gain from the
sale of a stake in Credit Suisse Securities (China) Limited (CSS).
Total revenues: 3Q25 vs 3Q24
Net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss
Total combined net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through
profit or loss decreased by USD 47m to USD 5,106m.
Global Wealth Management revenues decreased by USD 12m to USD 2,077m, mainly driven by the impact of lower
central bank interest rates on deposit revenues and by lower loan revenues, reflecting margin contraction, largely
offset by lower liquidity and funding costs, the effects of favorable changes in deposit mix, balance sheet
optimization measures, and positive foreign currency effects.
Personal & Corporate Banking revenues decreased by USD 50m to USD 1,399m, mainly driven by lower net interest
income, reflecting the impact of lower central bank interest rates on deposit revenues. This was partly offset by
deposit pricing measures and lower liquidity and funding costs. These revenues also included positive foreign
currency effects.
Investment Bank revenues increased by USD 360m to USD 1,873m, mainly due to higher revenues in Financing in
Global Markets, led by Prime Brokerage, supported by higher client balances. In addition, Global Banking revenues
increased, driven by higher revenues in Capital Markets.
Non-core and Legacy revenues were negative USD 91m compared with positive USD 63m in the third quarter of
2024, mainly due to lower net gains from position exits and lower net interest income from the securitized product
portfolio, partly offset by lower markdowns.
Revenues in Group Items were negative USD 143m compared with positive USD 14m in the third quarter of 2024.
The change in revenues was mainly driven by lower mark-to-market gains from Group hedging and own debt,
including hedge accounting ineffectiveness.

Net fee and commission income
Net fee and commission income increased by USD 763m to USD 7,097m.
Net brokerage fees increased by USD 251m to USD 1,293m, driven by increased volumes in Cash Equities in
Execution Services in the Investment Bank, led by the Asia Pacific region, and higher levels of client activity in Global
Wealth Management in the Asia Pacific, EMEA and Americas regions.
Fees for portfolio management and related services increased by USD 190m to USD 3,301m. These fees are largely
recurring and are driven mainly by Global Wealth Management. Investment fund fees increased by USD 188m to
USD 1,740m. These fees are also largely recurring in nature and are mainly driven by management and performance
fees in Asset Management and asset-based fund fees in Global Wealth Management. The year-on-year increase in
both of these fee categories reflected higher average levels of fee-generating assets in Global Wealth Management,
reflecting positive impacts from market performance and net new fee-generating asset inflows over the course of
the last 12 months. Increases in Asset Management reflected growth in Hedge Fund Businesses, positive market
performance and foreign currency effects, partly offset by negative impacts from continued margin compression.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets
Total operating expenses
1 Financial advisor compensation consists of cash compensation, determined using a formulaic approach based on production, and deferred awards. It also includes expenses related to compensation commitments
with financial advisors entered into at the time of recruitment that are subject to vesting requirements.
Personnel expenses
Personnel expenses increased by USD 9m to USD 5,797m, including a USD 108m increase in post-employment
benefit plans, predominantly related to integration-related expenses. There were also increases in financial advisor
compensation, resulting from higher compensable revenues, and in accruals for performance awards, reflecting
business performance. The increases were largely offset by lower salary expenses, reflecting the impact of a smaller
workforce.

Refer to “Note 7 Personnel expenses” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of this report for more
information
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by USD 289m to USD 4,303m, largely due to an increase of
USD 340m in shared services costs charged for Technology, Finance and Risk by shared services subsidiaries of
UBS Group AG, partly offset by a decrease of USD 87m in real estate and logistics costs. The third quarter of 2025
includes net expenses of USD 41m for provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, reflecting a
USD 321m net release related to the resolution of a legacy matter concerning cross-border business activities in
France, more than offset by expenses related to increases in other litigation provisions.

UBS AG performance, business divisions and Group Items | UBS AG consolidated performance 13
Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets
Depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-financial assets decreased by USD 112m to USD 726m, primarily
reflecting an USD 88m decrease in depreciation of leased real estate as a result of higher levels of accelerated
depreciation in the third quarter of 2024. In addition, there was a USD 54m decrease in the amortization of
internally generated capitalized software, reflecting a lower cost base of software assets. The decreases were partly
offset by a USD 39m increase in impairments, mainly related to internally generated capitalized software.
Tax: 3Q25 vs 3Q24
UBS AG had a net income tax expense of USD 213m in the third quarter of 2025, representing an effective tax rate
of 14.1%, compared with USD 194m in the third quarter of 2024 and an effective tax rate of 16.3%.
The net current tax expense was USD 282m, which primarily related to the taxable profits of UBS Switzerland AG
and other entities.
There was a net deferred tax benefit of USD 68m. This reflected a net deferred tax expense of USD 63m that mainly
related to the amortization of deferred tax assets (DTAs) previously recognized in relation to tax losses carried
forward and deductible temporary differences, more than offset by a USD 109m benefit in respect of the tax
deduction for deferred compensation awards and a USD 22m benefit due to an increase in DTA recognition within
UBS AG’s US branch.
Total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders
In the third quarter of 2025, total comprehensive income attributable to shareholders was USD 841m, reflecting a net
profit of USD 1,288m and other comprehensive income (OCI), net of tax, of negative USD 447m.
OCI related to own credit on financial liabilities designated at fair value was negative USD 576m, primarily due to
a tightening of our own credit spreads.
Foreign currency translation OCI was negative USD 116m, mainly resulting from the US dollar strengthening against
the Swiss franc, the euro and the pound sterling.
OCI related to cash flow hedges was USD 178m, mainly reflecting net losses on hedging instruments that were
reclassified from OCI to the income statement.

Sensitivity to interest rate movements
As of 30 September 2025, it is estimated that a parallel shift in yield curves by +100 basis points could lead to a
combined increase in annual net interest income from our banking book of approximately USD 1.4bn in the first
year after such a shift. Of this increase, approximately USD 0.8bn, USD 0.4bn and USD 0.1bn would result from
changes in Swiss franc, US dollar and euro interest rates, respectively.
A parallel shift in yield curves by –100 basis points could lead to a combined increase in annual net interest income
of approximately USD 1.0bn. Of this increase, approximately USD 1.6bn would result from changes in Swiss franc
interest rates, driven by both contractual and assumed flooring benefits under negative interest rates. US dollar and
euro interest rates would lead to an offsetting decrease of USD 0.4bn and USD 0.1bn, respectively.
These estimates do not represent net interest income forecasts, as they are based on a hypothetical scenario of an
immediate change in interest rates, equal across all currencies and relative to implied forward rates as of
30 September 2025
applied to our banking book. These estimates further assume no change to balance sheet size
and product mix, stable foreign exchange rates, and no specific management action.

foreign currency translation losses of USD 0.1bn.
Return on common equity tier 1 capital: 3Q25 vs 3Q24
The annualized return on CET1 capital was 7.3%, compared with 4.8%, driven by higher net profit attributable to

Risk-weighted assets: 3Q25 vs 2Q25
During the third quarter of 2025, risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by USD 4.1bn to USD 502.4bn, driven by a
USD 6.6bn increase resulting from asset size and other movements, partly offset by a USD 1.5bn decrease driven
by model updates and methodology changes and a USD 1.0bn decrease from currency effects.
Common equity tier 1 capital ratio: 3Q25 vs 2Q25
The CET1 capital ratio increased to 14.2% from 14.0%, reflecting the aforementioned increase in CET1 capital,
partly offset by the aforementioned increase in RWA.
Leverage ratio denominator: 3Q25 vs 2Q25
During the third quarter of 2025, the leverage ratio denominator (the LRD) decreased by USD 17.3bn to
USD 1,642.8bn, mainly driven by asset size and other movements of USD 12.1bn and currency effects of
USD 5.2bn.
Common equity tier 1 leverage ratio: 3Q25 vs 2Q25
The CET1 leverage ratio increased to 4.3% from 4.2%, reflecting the aforementioned increase in CET1 capital and
the aforementioned decrease in the LRD.
9M25 compared with 9M24
The legal merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG on 31 May 2024 has had a significant impact on the results from
June 2024 onward. This discussion and analysis of results compares the first nine months of 2025, which cover nine
full months of post-merger results, with the first nine months of 2024, which included only four months of post-
merger results. This is a material driver in many of the increases across both revenues and operating expenses.

Suisse AG
Results 9M25 vs 9M24
Operating profit before tax increased by USD 1,334m, or 56%, to USD 3,708m, reflecting a USD 5,238m increase
in total revenues, which was partly offset by a USD 3,819m increase in operating expenses. Net credit loss expenses
were USD 388m compared with USD 303m in the first nine months of 2024.
Total combined net interest income and other net income from financial instruments measured at fair value through
profit or loss increased by USD 2,420m to USD 15,316m. Global Wealth Management revenues increased by
USD 906m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period. The remaining
variance was driven by balance sheet optimization measures, lower liquidity and funding costs, positive foreign
currency effects, and the effects of favorable changes in deposit mix, partly offset by the impact of lower central
bank interest rates on deposit revenues and by lower loan revenues, which reflected margin contraction. Personal
& Corporate Banking revenues increased by USD 626m, largely reflecting the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG net
interest income for the full period. Investment Bank revenues increased by USD 1,238m, mainly in Global Markets,
due to an increase in Derivatives & Solutions revenues that resulted from higher revenues across all products, as
well as higher revenues in Financing, led by Prime Brokerage, supported by higher client balances. Non-core and
Legacy revenues were negative USD 124m, compared with positive USD 203m in the first nine months of 2024,
mainly due to lower net gains from position exits and lower net interest income from securitized product and credit
portfolios and the effect from the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period, partly offset by
lower markdowns.
Net fee and commission income increased by USD 3,169m to USD 20,253m. Fees for portfolio management and
related services increased by USD 1,320m and investment fund fees increased by USD 772m, which included
increases driven by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period, predominantly in Global
Wealth Management and Asset Management. The year-on-year increase in Global Wealth Management in these
fee categories was also driven by higher average levels of fee-generating assets reflecting positive impacts from
market performance, and net new fee-generating asset inflows over the course of the last 12 months. Net
brokerage fees increased by USD 761m due to higher levels of client activity across the Asia Pacific, EMEA and
Americas regions in Global Wealth Management and also due to higher volumes, across all regions, in Cash Equities
in Execution Services in the Investment Bank.
UBS AG third quarter 2025 report |
UBS AG performance, business divisions and Group Items | UBS AG consolidated performance 16
Other income was USD 675m compared with USD 1,025m in the first nine months of 2024 and included the
consolidation of Credit Suisse AG income for the full period. The first nine months of 2025 included a USD 128m
gain from the sale of a stake in CSS, a USD 64m gain from the Swisscard transactions and a USD 33m gain from
the sale of our wealth management business in India. These gains were partly offset by a USD 156m loss relating
to an investment in an associate. The first nine months of 2024 included a USD 119m gain related to the sale of
an investment in an associate, as well as a USD 113m net gain from disposals.
Personnel expenses increased by USD 2,610m to USD 17,356m, mainly reflecting the consolidation of
Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full period. Additionally, there were increases in financial advisor compensation,
resulting from higher compensable revenues, and accruals for variable compensation, as well as integration-related
expenses for post-employment benefit plans.
General and administrative expenses increased by USD 1,024m to USD 12,608m, mainly driven by the consolidation
of Credit Suisse AG expenses for the full period. The overall increase was largely attributable to an increase of
USD 1,079m related to shared services costs for Technology, Finance and Risk charged by shared services subsidiaries
of the UBS Group. General and administrative expenses also included a USD 180m expense related to the Swisscard
transactions in Personal & Corporate Banking and increases of USD 103m in technology costs and USD 96m in
consulting, legal and audit fees. These increases were partly offset by a USD 721m decrease in expenses for
litigation, regulatory and similar matters, mainly due to the costs recognized in the first nine months of 2024 when
UBS agreed to fund an offer by the Credit Suisse supply chain finance funds to redeem all of the outstanding units
in the respective funds.
Outlook
With valuations elevated across most asset classes entering the fourth quarter, investors remain engaged but
increasingly focused on hedging downside risks, which is also evident in periodic headline-driven spikes in volatility.
Against this backdrop, transactional activity and our deal pipelines remain healthy, though sentiment can shift
quickly as confidence in the outlook is tested and seasonal effects come into play. Furthermore, macro uncertainties
along with a strong Swiss franc and higher US tariffs are clouding the outlook for the Swiss economy, and a
prolonged US government shutdown may delay capital market activities.
In the fourth quarter, we expect net interest income in US dollars to remain broadly stable in each of Global Wealth
Management and Personal & Corporate Banking. Credit loss expense in Personal & Corporate Banking is projected
at around CHF 80m. Quarter-end transactional activity levels in the Investment Bank are likely to normalize
compared with the strong prior-year period when markets were unusually active ahead of the US administration
change.
We remain focused on actively engaging with our clients, helping them to navigate a complex environment while
executing on our growth and integration plans. We are confident in our ability to deliver on our 2026 financial
targets, leveraging the power of our diversified business model and global footprint.

offset by higher operating expenses.
Total revenues
Total revenues increased by USD 342m, or 6%, to USD 6,398m, mainly due to higher recurring net fee income and
transaction-based income.
Net interest income decreased by USD 7m to USD 1,655m, largely driven by the impact of lower central bank
interest rates on deposit revenues and by lower loan revenues, reflecting margin contraction. These decreases were
almost entirely offset by lower liquidity and funding costs, the effects of favorable changes in deposit mix, balance
sheet optimization measures, and positive foreign currency effects.
Recurring net fee income increased by USD 240m, or 7%, to USD 3,475m and largely consisted of fees for services
provided on an ongoing basis, such as portfolio management fees, asset-based investment fund fees, custody fees
and administrative fees for accounts. The year-on-year increase was mainly driven by higher average levels of fee-
generating assets reflecting positive impacts from market performance and net new fee-generating asset inflows
over the course of the last 12 months, mainly driven by mandate sales.
Transaction-based income increased by USD 128m, or 11%, to USD 1,271m, mainly driven by higher levels of client
activity in the Asia Pacific, EMEA and Americas regions.
Other income was negative USD 3m, compared with positive USD 16m, and included a loss of USD 38m related to
an investment in an associate and a USD 33m gain from the sale of our wealth management business in India.

levels of client activity across the region. The EMEA and Switzerland regions also contributed positive net new
assets.

Profit before tax increased by USD 888m, or 34%, to USD 3,465m, largely driven by higher total revenues and the
positive impact from the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, partly offset by higher operating expenses.
Total revenues increased by USD 2,695m, or 17%, to USD 18,861m, mainly reflecting higher recurring net fee
income, transaction-based income and net interest income. The remaining increase was due to the consolidation
of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period.
Net interest income increased by USD 648m, or 15%, to USD 4,831m, mainly driven by the consolidation of Credit
Suisse AG net interest income for the full period. The remaining variance was mainly due to balance sheet

favorable changes in deposit mix. These increases were partly offset by the impact of lower central bank interest
rates on deposit revenues and by lower loan revenues, which reflected margin contraction.

consolidation of Credit Suisse AG recurring net fee income for the full period.
Transaction-based income increased by USD 831m, or 27%, to USD 3,919m, mainly driven by higher levels of client
activity across the Asia Pacific, EMEA and Americas regions and by the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG transaction-
based income for the full period.
Other income decreased by USD 63m to USD 11m, mostly due to lower shared services costs charged to other

investment in an associate, partly offset by a USD 33m gain from the sale of our wealth management business in
India.

Profit before tax decreased by CHF 243m, or 43%, to CHF 318m, as lower total revenues and higher operating
expenses were partly offset by lower net credit loss expenses.
Total revenues
Total revenues decreased by CHF 216m, or 12%, to CHF 1,661m, mainly due to lower net interest income and
other income, and included a loss of CHF 81m related to an investment in an associate.
Net interest income decreased by CHF 121m, or 11%, to CHF 938m, mainly reflecting the impact of lower central
bank interest rates on deposit revenues. This was partly offset by deposit pricing measures and lower liquidity and
funding costs.
Recurring net fee income decreased by CHF 3m, or 1%, to CHF 337m and largely consisted of fees for services
provided on an ongoing basis, such as administrative fees for accounts, custody fees, asset-based investment fund
fees and portfolio management fees. The year-on-year change was negatively affected by lower Swisscard revenues
and a reclassification of recurring net fee income to transaction-based income as a result of aligning Credit Suisse’s
presentation to that of UBS in the second half of 2024. These effects were partly offset by higher custody fees,
mainly reflecting positive market performance and net new inflows.
Transaction-based income increased by CHF 21m, or 5%, to CHF 443m, mostly due to higher corporate finance
fees and the positive effect from the aforementioned reclassification.
Other income was negative CHF 57m, compared with positive CHF 56m and included a loss of CHF 81m related to

Results: 3Q25 vs 3Q24
Profit before tax increased by USD 52m, or 31%, to USD 220m, reflecting lower operating expenses, partly offset
by lower total revenues.
Total revenues
Total revenues decreased by USD 46m, or 5%, to USD 842m, mainly due to the third quarter of 2024 including an
USD 84m net gain from disposals, partly offset by higher performance fees. The gross margin was 17 basis points.
Net management fees decreased by USD 3m to USD 755m, of which USD 736m was reported within net fee and
commission income for UBS AG. Positive market performance and foreign currency effects, as well as higher
transaction fees, were largely offset by the negative impact from continued margin compression and by USD 27m
of negative revenues related to Hedge Fund Businesses (linked to the below-described increase in performance
fees). Net management fees were also impacted by a USD 19m revaluation in the third quarter of 2024 related to
a real-estate fund co-investment.

UBS AG performance, business divisions and Group Items | Asset Management 23
Performance fees increased by USD 41m, or 90%, to USD 87m, all of which was reported within net fee and
commission income for UBS AG. The increase was mainly due to a USD 51m increase in revenues in Hedge Fund
Businesses (partly offset by the aforementioned negative revenues in net management fees), partly offset by a
USD 9m decrease in Fixed Income.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses decreased by USD 98m, or 14%, to USD 622m, driven by lower non-personnel and personnel
expenses.
Invested assets: 3Q25 vs 2Q25
Invested assets increased by USD 91bn, or 5%, to USD 2,043bn, reflecting positive market performance of
USD 78bn and net new money of USD 18bn, partly offset by negative foreign currency effects of USD 4bn.
Excluding money market flows and associates, net new money was positive USD 14bn.
Results: 9M25 vs 9M24
Profit before tax increased by USD 166m, or 49%, to USD 506m, mainly reflecting the impact from the
consolidation of Credit Suisse AG for the full period.
Total revenues increased by USD 323m, or 16%, to USD 2,354m, primarily reflecting the consolidation of Credit
Suisse AG revenues for the full period and higher performance fees, partly offset by the first nine months of 2024
including USD 113m of net gains from disposals. The gross margin was 17 basis points.
Net management fees increased by USD 373m, or 20%, to USD 2,200m, of which USD 2,113m was reported
within net fee and commission income for UBS AG. The increase largely reflected the consolidation of Credit
Suisse AG net management fees for the full period, partly offset by USD 27m of negative revenues related to Hedge
Fund Businesses (linked to the below-described increase in performance fees) and a USD 19m revaluation in the
first nine months of 2024 related to a real-estate fund co-investment.
Performance fees increased by USD 65m, or 71%, to USD 156m, all of which was reported within net fee and
commission income for UBS AG. The increase was mainly due to a USD 68m increase in revenues in Hedge Fund
Businesses (partly offset by the aforementioned negative revenues in net management fees).
Operating expenses increased by USD 157m, or 9%, to USD 1,848m, largely due to the consolidation of Credit
Suisse AG operating expenses for the full period, partly offset by lower non-personnel and personnel expenses.

Loss before tax was USD 2,351m, compared with a loss before tax of USD 2,184m.
Total revenues were negative USD 110m, compared with total revenues of USD 411m, mainly reflecting lower net
gains from position exits and lower net interest income from securitized product and credit portfolios and the effect
from the consolidation of Credit Suisse AG revenues for the full period, partly offset by lower markdowns. Total
revenues in the first nine months of 2025 included a loss of USD 11m from the sale of Select Portfolio Servicing, the
US mortgage servicing business of Credit Suisse. Total revenues in the first nine months of 2024 included a USD 67m

an offer by the Credit Suisse supply chain finance funds to redeem all the outstanding units of the respective funds.

expenses for the full period.

The USD 194m, or 321%, change in the result between quarters was largely due to lower mark-to-market gains
from Group hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness.

in loss before tax between periods was largely due to an increase in provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar
matters, higher shared services costs charged by other subsidiaries of UBS Group AG, and losses from disposals of
properties held for sale. In addition, the first nine months of 2025 included lower mark-to-market losses from Group
hedging and own debt, including hedge accounting ineffectiveness, compared with the first nine months of 2024.

USD 107m related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. An additional 23 basis points for RWA reflect a Pillar 2 capital add-on for the residual exposure (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds,
private equity and family offices, effective 1 January 2025. 2 Includes the Pillar 2 add-on for the residual exposure (after collateral mitigation) to hedge funds, private equity and family offices of 0.16% for CET1
capital and 0.07% for AT1 capital, effective 1 January 2025. For AT1 capital, under Pillar 1 requirements a maximum of 4.3% of AT1 capital can be used to meet going concern requirements; 4.37% includes the
aforementioned Pillar 2 capital add-on. 3 Our CET1 leverage ratio requirement of 3.51% consists of a 1.5% base requirement, a 1.5% base buffer capital requirement, a 0.25% LRD add-on requirement, a 0.25%
market share add-on requirement based on our Swiss credit business and a 0.01% Pillar 2 capital add-on related to the supply chain finance funds matter at Credit Suisse. 4 A maximum of 25% of the gone concern
requirements can be met with instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years. Once at least 75% of the minimum gone concern requirement has been met with instruments that have a
remaining maturity of greater than two years, all instruments that have a remaining maturity of between one and two years remain eligible to be included in the total gone concern capital. 5 From 1 January 2023,
the resolvability discount on the gone concern capital requirements for systemically important banks (SIBs) has been replaced with reduced base gone concern capital requirements equivalent to 75% of the total going
concern requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements and the Pillar 2 add-ons). 6 As of July 2024, FINMA has the authority to impose a surcharge of up to 25% of the total going concern capital
requirements (excluding countercyclical buffer requirements and the Pillar 2 add-ons) should obstacles to an SIB’s resolvability be identified in future resolvability assessments. 7 Includes applicable add-ons of 1.08%

1 Reflects the appropriation of USD 6,500m to a special dividend reserve approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting in April 2025. The supplementary dividend of USD 6,500m was paid to UBS Group AG in
October 2025 as approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 3.5bn lower than the going concern capital of
UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 September 2025, reflecting CET1 capital being USD 3.2bn lower and going
concern loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital being USD 0.3bn lower.
The aforementioned difference in CET1 capital was primarily due to a USD 12.2bn difference in dividend accruals
between UBS AG and UBS Group AG, partly offset by UBS Group AG’s consolidated equity being USD 5.4bn lower,
compensation-related regulatory capital accruals at the UBS Group AG level of USD 2.3bn, a capital reserve for
expected future share repurchases of USD 0.9bn and a USD 0.4bn effect from eligible deferred tax assets on
temporary differences.
The going concern loss-absorbing AT1 capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 0.3bn lower than that of
UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 September 2025, mainly reflecting deferred contingent capital plan awards
granted at the Group level to eligible employees for the 2020 to 2024 performance years.
Differences in capital between UBS AG consolidated and UBS Group AG consolidated related to employee
compensation plans will reverse to the extent underlying services are performed by employees of, and are
consequently charged to, UBS AG and its subsidiaries. Such reversal generally occurs over the service period of the
employee compensation plan.
The LRD of UBS AG consolidated was USD 2.4bn higher than the LRD of UBS Group AG consolidated, mainly
reflecting intercompany exposures in UBS AG toward Group entities, as well as purchase price allocation (PPA)
adjustments that apply at the Group level but not at the UBS AG level, partly offset by fixed assets held outside of
the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The RWA of UBS AG consolidated were USD 2.5bn lower than the RWA of UBS Group AG consolidated, mainly
reflecting non-counterparty-related assets held outside the UBS AG consolidation scope, partly offset by
intercompany credit risk exposures in UBS AG toward Group entities outside of the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The LRD for UBS AG consolidated exceeds that of UBS Group AG consolidated, and UBS AG’s RWA are lower than
those of UBS Group AG consolidated. This divergence stems mainly from certain PPA adjustments that apply at the
Group level but not at the UBS AG level and are subject to low risk weights.

Note 1 Basis of accounting
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) of UBS AG and its subsidiaries (together, UBS AG)
are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (the IASB), and are presented in US dollars. These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance
with IAS 34,
Interim Financial Reporting
.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the same accounting policies and methods of computation have
been applied as in the UBS AG consolidated annual financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024.
These interim financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with: the audited consolidated
financial statements in the UBS AG Annual Report 2024; the “Management report” sections of this report,
specifically the disclosures in the “Recent developments” section of this report regarding the sale of a 36.01% stake
in Credit Suisse Securities (China) Limited and in the “UBS AG performance, business divisions and Group Items”
section of this report regarding the sale of Select Portfolio Servicing (the US mortgage servicing business of Credit
Suisse), the transactions related to Swisscard and the sale of UBS’s wealth management business in India; and the
information about significant transactions disclosed in the UBS AG first quarter 2025 report and UBS AG second
quarter 2025 report. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made for a fair
presentation of UBS AG’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information. Actual results in the future
could differ from such estimates and differences may be material to the financial statements. Revisions to estimates,
based on regular reviews, are recognized in the period in which they occur. For more information about areas of
estimation uncertainty that are considered to require critical judgment, refer to “Note 1a Material accounting
policies” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024.

Note 9 Expected credit loss measurement
a) Credit loss expense / release
Total net credit loss expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were USD 113m, reflecting USD 8m net expenses related
to performing positions and USD 105m net expenses on credit-impaired positions.
Net expected credit loss expenses on the performing portfolio were primarily driven by net expenses in the corporate
lending portfolios of Personal & Corporate Banking and the Investment Bank. These expenses were partly offset by
releases in the real estate portfolios. UBS has updated several expected credit loss models within the real estate and
corporate lending portfolios to enhance risk differentiation and incorporate the latest default history.
Credit loss expenses of USD 105m for credit-impaired positions primarily related to a small number of corporate
counterparties in Personal & Corporate Banking and the Investment Bank.

b) Changes to ECL models, scenarios and scenario weights
Scenarios and scenario weights
The expected credit loss (ECL) scenarios, along with their related macroeconomic factors and market data, were
reviewed in light of the economic and political conditions prevailing in the third quarter of 2025 through a series
of governance meetings, with input and feedback from UBS AG Risk and Finance experts across the business
divisions and regions.
The baseline scenario was updated with the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 30 September 2025. The
assumptions on a calendar-year basis are included in the table below. The scenario assumes growth in Switzerland
will remain muted in 2025 and slow in the second half of the year, reflecting a subdued outlook due to tariffs and
the appreciation of the Swiss franc in the second quarter of 2025. For the US, the outlook has improved slightly,
but the scenario still assumes a slowdown in the second half of 2025, reflecting a cooling labor market and the
impact of tariffs on domestic demand. Expectations for long-term interest rates in the US and Switzerland are
slightly lower than in the previous quarter.
At the beginning of the first quarter of 2025, UBS AG replaced the stagflationary geopolitical crisis scenario applied
at the end of 2024 with the global crisis scenario, as the severe downside scenario. It targets risks such as sovereign
defaults, low interest rates, a crisis in the Eurozone and significant emerging-market stress. The moderate stagflation
crisis scenario replaced the mild debt crisis scenario as the mild downside scenario. In the moderate stagflation crisis
scenario, interest rates are assumed to rise rather than decline, as in the previously applied mild debt crisis scenario.
However, the declines in gross domestic product and equities are similar.
UBS AG kept the scenarios and scenario weights in line with those applied in the UBS AG second quarter 2025
report. All of the scenarios, including the asset price appreciation and the baseline scenarios, have been updated
based on the latest macroeconomic forecasts as of 30 September 2025. The assumptions on a calendar-year basis
are included in the table below.

Note 9 Expected credit loss measurement (continued)
c) ECL-relevant balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions including ECL allowances and provisions
The following tables provide information about financial instruments and certain non-financial instruments that are
subject to ECL requirements. For amortized-cost instruments, the carrying amount represents the maximum
exposure to credit risk, taking into account the allowance for credit losses. Financial assets measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are also subject to ECL; however, unlike amortized-cost instruments,
the allowance for credit losses for FVOCI instruments does not reduce the carrying amount of these financial assets.
Instead, the carrying amount of financial assets measured at FVOCI represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.
No purchased credit-impaired financial assets were recognized in the third quarter of 2025. Originated credit-
impaired financial assets were not material and are not presented in the table below.
In addition to recognized financial assets, certain off-balance sheet financial instruments and other credit lines are
also subject to ECL. The maximum exposure to credit risk for off-balance sheet financial instruments is calculated
based on the maximum contractual amounts.

c) Level 3 instruments: valuation techniques and inputs
The table below presents material Level 3 assets and liabilities, together with the valuation techniques used to
measure fair value, as well as the inputs used in a given valuation technique that are considered significant as of
30 September 2025 and unobservable, and a range of values for those unobservable inputs.
The range of values represents the highest- and lowest-level inputs used in the valuation techniques. Therefore, the
range does not reflect the level of uncertainty regarding a particular input or an assessment of the reasonableness of
UBS AG’s estimates and assumptions, but rather the different underlying characteristics of the relevant assets and
liabilities held by UBS AG.
The significant unobservable inputs disclosed in the table below are consistent with those included in “Note 21 Fair
value measurement” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024.

1 The ranges of significant unobservable inputs are represented in points, percentages and basis points. Points are a percentage of par (e.g. 100 points would be 100% of par). 2 Weighted averages are provided
for most non-derivative financial instruments and were calculated by weighting inputs based on the fair values of the respective instruments. Weighted averages are not provided for inputs related to Other financial
liabilities designated at fair value and Derivative financial instruments, as this would not be meaningful. 3 Debt issued designated at fair value primarily consists of UBS AG structured notes, which include variable
maturity notes with various equity and foreign exchange underlying risks, as well as rates-linked and credit-linked notes, all of which have embedded derivative parameters that are considered to be unobservable.
The derivative instrument parameters for debt issued designated at fair value, embedded derivatives for over-the-counter debt instruments reported under Other financial liabilities designated at fair value and funded
derivatives reported under Loans at fair value (held for trading and not held for trading) are presented in the corresponding derivative financial instruments lines in this table. 4 The range of inputs is not disclosed,
as there is a dispersion of values given the diverse nature of the investments.

Note 10 Fair value measurement (continued)
d) Level 3 instruments: sensitivity to changes in unobservable input assumptions
The table below summarizes those financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 for which a change in one or
more of the unobservable inputs to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions would change fair value
significantly, and the estimated effect thereof.
The sensitivity data shown below presents an estimation of valuation uncertainty based on reasonably possible
alternative values for Level 3 inputs at the balance sheet date and does not represent the estimated effect of stress
scenarios. Typically, these financial assets and liabilities are sensitive to a combination of inputs from Levels 1–3.
Although well-defined interdependencies may exist between Level 1 / 2 parameters and Level 3 parameters (e.g.
between interest rates, which are generally Level 1 or Level 2, and prepayments, which are generally Level 3), these
have not been incorporated in the table. Furthermore, direct interrelationships between the Level 3 parameters are
not a significant element of the valuation uncertainty.

e) Level 3 instruments: movements during the period
The table below presents additional information about material Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis. Level 3 assets and liabilities may be hedged with instruments classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in
the fair value hierarchy and, as a result, realized and unrealized gains and losses included in the table may not
include the effect of related hedging activity. Furthermore, the realized and unrealized gains and losses presented
in the table are not limited solely to those arising from Level 3 inputs, as valuations are generally derived from both
observable and unobservable parameters.
Assets and liabilities transferred into or out of Level 3 are presented as if those assets or liabilities had been
transferred on 1 January 2025.

quarter of 2025 as described in item 4 of section b) of this Note.
Information about provisions and contingent liabilities with respect to litigation, regulatory and similar matters, as
a class, is included in Note 16b. There are no material contingent liabilities associated with the other classes of
provisions.
b) Litigation, regulatory and similar matters
UBS operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to significant litigation and similar risks arising
from disputes and regulatory proceedings. As a result, UBS is involved in various disputes and legal proceedings,
including litigation, arbitration, and regulatory and criminal investigations. “UBS”, “we” and “our”, for purposes
of this Note, refer to UBS AG and / or one or more of its subsidiaries, as applicable.
Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome and the timing of resolution are often difficult to
predict, particularly in the earlier stages of a case. There are also situations where UBS may enter into a settlement
agreement. This may occur in order to avoid the expense, management distraction or reputational implications of
continuing to contest liability, even for those matters for which UBS believes it should be exonerated. The
uncertainties inherent in all such matters affect the amount and timing of any potential outflows for both matters
with respect to which provisions have been established and other contingent liabilities. UBS makes provisions for
such matters brought against it when, in the opinion of management after seeking legal advice, it is more likely
than not that UBS has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Where these factors are otherwise
satisfied, a provision may be established for claims that have not yet been asserted against UBS, but are nevertheless
expected to be, based on UBS’s experience with similar asserted claims. If any of those conditions is not met, such
matters result in contingent liabilities. If the amount of an obligation cannot be reliably estimated, a liability exists
that is not recognized even if an outflow of resources is probable. Accordingly, no provision is established even if
the potential outflow of resources with respect to such matters could be significant. Developments relating to a
matter that occur after the relevant reporting period, but prior to the issuance of financial statements, which affect
management’s assessment of the provision for such matter (because, for example, the developments provide
evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period), are adjusting events after the reporting
period under IAS 10 and must be recognized in the financial statements for the reporting period.
Specific litigation, regulatory and other matters are described below, including all such matters that management
considers to be material and others that management believes to be of significance to UBS due to potential
financial, reputational and other effects. The amount of damages claimed, the size of a transaction or other
information is provided where available and appropriate in order to assist users in considering the magnitude of
potential exposures.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the UBS AG interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) 60
Note 16 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
In the case of certain matters below, we state that we have established a provision, and for the other matters, we
make no such statement. When we make this statement and we expect disclosure of the amount of a provision to
prejudice seriously our position with other parties in the matter because it would reveal what UBS believes to be
the probable and reliably estimable outflow, we do not disclose that amount. In some cases we are subject to
confidentiality obligations that preclude such disclosure. With respect to the matters for which we do not state
whether we have established a provision, either: (a) we have not established a provision; or (b) we have established
a provision but expect disclosure of that fact to prejudice seriously our position with other parties in the matter
because it would reveal the fact that UBS believes an outflow of resources to be probable and reliably estimable.
With respect to certain litigation, regulatory and similar matters for which we have established provisions, we are
able to estimate the expected timing of outflows. However, the aggregate amount of the expected outflows for
those matters for which we are able to estimate expected timing is immaterial relative to our current and expected
levels of liquidity over the relevant time periods.
The aggregate amount provisioned for litigation, regulatory and similar matters as a class is disclosed in the
“Provisions” table in Note 16a above. UBS provides below an estimate of the aggregate liability for its litigation,
regulatory and similar matters as a class of contingent liabilities. Estimates of contingent liabilities are inherently
imprecise and uncertain as these estimates require UBS to make speculative legal assessments as to claims and
proceedings that involve unique fact patterns or novel legal theories, that have not yet been initiated or are at early
stages of adjudication, or as to which alleged damages have not been quantified by the claimants. Taking into
account these uncertainties and the other factors described herein, UBS estimates the future losses that could arise
from litigation, regulatory and similar matters disclosed below for which an estimate is possible, that are not covered
by existing provisions are in the range of USD 0bn to USD 2bn.
Litigation, regulatory and similar matters may also result in non-monetary penalties and consequences. A guilty plea
to, or conviction of, a crime could have material consequences for UBS. Resolution of regulatory proceedings may
require UBS to obtain waivers of regulatory disqualifications to maintain certain operations, may entitle regulatory
authorities to limit, suspend or terminate licenses and regulatory authorizations, and may permit financial market
utilities to limit, suspend or terminate UBS’s participation in such utilities. Failure to obtain such waivers, or any
limitation, suspension or termination of licenses, authorizations or participations, could have material consequences
for UBS.

Note 16 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
1. Inquiries regarding cross-border wealth management businesses
Tax and regulatory authorities in a number of countries have made inquiries, served requests for information or
examined employees located in their respective jurisdictions relating to the cross-border wealth management
services provided by UBS and other financial institutions. Credit Suisse offices in various locations, including the UK,
the Netherlands, France and Belgium, have been contacted by regulatory and law enforcement authorities seeking
records and information concerning investigations into Credit Suisse’s historical private banking services on a cross-
border basis and in part through its local branches and banks. The UK and French aspects of these issues have been
closed. UBS is continuing to cooperate with the authorities.
Since 2013, UBS (France) S.A., UBS AG and certain former employees have been under investigation in France in
relation to UBS’s cross-border business with French clients. In connection with this investigation, the investigating
judges ordered UBS AG to provide bail (“
caution
”) of EUR 1.1bn.
In 2019, the court of first instance returned a verdict finding UBS AG guilty of unlawful solicitation of clients on
French territory and aggravated laundering of the proceeds of tax fraud, and UBS (France) S.A. guilty of aiding and
abetting unlawful solicitation and of laundering the proceeds of tax fraud. The court imposed fines aggregating
EUR 3.7bn on UBS AG and UBS (France) S.A. and awarded EUR 800m of civil damages to the French state. A trial
in the Paris Court of Appeal took place in March 2021. In December 2021, the Court of Appeal found UBS AG
guilty of unlawful solicitation and aggravated laundering of the proceeds of tax fraud. The court ordered a fine of
EUR 3.75m, the confiscation of EUR 1bn, and awarded civil damages to the French state of EUR 800m. UBS
appealed the decision to the French Supreme Court. In November 2023, the Supreme Court upheld the Court of
Appeal’s decision regarding unlawful solicitation and aggravated laundering of the proceeds of tax fraud, but
overturned the confiscation of EUR 1bn, the penalty of EUR 3.75m and the EUR 800m of civil damages awarded
to the French state. The case was remanded to the Court of Appeal for a retrial regarding these overturned
elements. In September 2025, UBS AG resolved the case and agreed to pay a fine of EUR 730m and EUR 105m in
civil damages to the French State.
In May 2014, Credit Suisse AG entered into settlement agreements with the SEC, the Federal Reserve, and the
New York Department of Financial Services and agreed with the US Department of Justice (the DOJ) to plead guilty
to conspiring to aid and assist US taxpayers in filing false tax returns (the 2014 Plea Agreement). Credit Suisse
continued to report to and cooperate with US authorities in accordance with its obligations under the 2014 Plea
Agreement, including by conducting a review of cross-border services provided by Credit Suisse. In this connection,
Credit Suisse provided information to US authorities regarding potentially undeclared US assets held by clients at
Credit Suisse since the 2014 Plea Agreement. In May 2025, Credit Suisse Services AG entered into a plea agreement
(the 2025 Plea Agreement) with the DOJ under which it agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to aid
and assist in the preparation of false income tax returns relating to legacy Credit Suisse accounts booked in Credit
Suisse’s Swiss booking center, thereby settling the investigation into Credit Suisse’s implementation of the 2014
Plea Agreement. In addition, Credit Suisse Services AG entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the DOJ
(the 2025 NPA) relating to legacy Credit Suisse accounts booked in Credit Suisse’s Singapore booking center. The
2025 Plea Agreement and the 2025 NPA provide for penalties, restitution and forfeiture of USD 511m in the
aggregate. The 2025 Plea Agreement and the 2025 NPA include ongoing obligations of UBS to furnish information
and cooperate with DOJ’s investigations of legacy Credit Suisse accounts held by US persons in its Switzerland and
Singapore booking centers and related accounts in other booking centers.
Our balance sheet at 30 September 2025 reflected provisions in an amount that UBS believes to be appropriate
under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established provisions,
the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based on currently
available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the
provision that we have recognized.

2. Madoff
In relation to the Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BMIS) investment fraud, UBS AG, UBS (Luxembourg)
S.A. (now UBS Europe SE, Luxembourg branch) and certain other UBS subsidiaries have been subject to inquiries
by a number of regulators, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the Luxembourg
Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. Those inquiries concerned two third-party funds established
under Luxembourg law, substantially all assets of which were with BMIS, as well as certain funds established in
offshore jurisdictions with either direct or indirect exposure to BMIS. These funds faced severe losses, and the
Luxembourg funds are in liquidation. The documentation establishing both funds identifies UBS entities in various
roles, including custodian, administrator, manager, distributor and promoter, and indicates that UBS employees
serve as board members.
In 2009 and 2010, the liquidators of the two Luxembourg funds filed claims against UBS entities, non-UBS entities
and certain individuals, including current and former UBS employees, seeking amounts totaling approximately
EUR 2.1bn, which includes amounts that the funds may be held liable to pay the trustee for the liquidation of BMIS
(BMIS Trustee).
A large number of alleged beneficiaries have filed claims against UBS entities (and non-UBS entities) for purported
losses relating to the Madoff fraud. The majority of these cases have been decided in favor of UBS or dismissed for
want of prosecution.
In the US, the BMIS Trustee filed claims against UBS entities, among others, in relation to the two Luxembourg
funds and one of the offshore funds. The total amount claimed against all defendants in these actions was not less
than USD 2bn. In 2014, the US Supreme Court rejected the BMIS Trustee’s motion for leave to appeal decisions,
dismissing all claims against UBS defendants except those for the recovery of approximately USD 125m of payments
alleged to be fraudulent conveyances and preference payments. Similar claims have been filed against Credit Suisse
entities seeking to recover redemption payments. In 2016, the bankruptcy court dismissed these claims against the
UBS entities and most of the Credit Suisse entities. In 2019, the Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of the BMIS
Trustee’s remaining claims. The cases were remanded to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings.
3. Foreign exchange, LIBOR and benchmark rates, and other trading practices
Foreign-exchange-related regulatory matters:
concerning possible manipulation of foreign exchange markets and precious metals prices. As a result of these
investigations, UBS entered into resolutions with Swiss, US and UK regulators and the European Commission. UBS
was granted conditional immunity by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and by authorities in other jurisdictions in
connection with potential competition law violations relating to foreign exchange and precious metals businesses.
In December 2021, the European Commission issued a decision imposing a fine of EUR 83.3m on Credit Suisse
entities based on findings of anticompetitive practices in the foreign exchange market. UBS received leniency and
accordingly no fine was assessed. Credit Suisse appealed the decision to the European General Court and, in July
2025, the court issued a judgment reducing the fine to EUR 28.9m. The judgment is now final.
Foreign-exchange-related civil litigation:
Putative class actions have been filed since 2013 in US federal courts and
in other jurisdictions against UBS, Credit Suisse and other banks on behalf of persons who engaged in foreign
currency transactions with any of the defendant banks. UBS and Credit Suisse have resolved US federal court class
actions relating to foreign currency transactions with the defendant banks and persons who transacted in foreign
exchange futures contracts and options on such futures. Certain class members have excluded themselves from
that settlement and filed individual actions in US and English courts against UBS, Credit Suisse and other banks,
alleging violations of US and European competition laws and unjust enrichment. UBS, Credit Suisse and the other
banks have resolved those individual matters. In addition, Credit Suisse and UBS, together with other financial
institutions, were named in a consolidated putative class action in Israel, which made allegations similar to those
made in the actions pursued in other jurisdictions. Credit Suisse and UBS entered into agreements to settle all claims
in this action in April 2022 and February 2024, respectively. Credit Suisse’s settlement received court approval and
became final in May 2025. UBS’s settlement remains subject to court approval.

Note 16 Provisions and contingent liabilities (continued)
LIBOR and other benchmark-related regulatory matters:
regarding potential improper attempts by UBS, among others, to manipulate LIBOR and other benchmark rates at
certain times. UBS and Credit Suisse reached settlements or otherwise concluded investigations relating to
benchmark interest rates with the investigating authorities. UBS was granted conditional leniency or conditional
immunity from authorities in certain jurisdictions, including the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and the Swiss
Competition Commission (WEKO), in connection with potential antitrust or competition law violations related to
certain rates. However, UBS has not reached a final settlement with WEKO, as the Secretariat of WEKO has asserted
that UBS does not qualify for full immunity.
LIBOR and other benchmark-related civil litigation:
A number of putative class actions and other actions are pending
in the federal courts in New York against UBS and numerous other banks on behalf of parties who transacted in
certain interest rate benchmark-based derivatives. Also pending in the US and in other jurisdictions are a number
of other actions asserting losses related to various products whose interest rates were linked to LIBOR and other
benchmarks, including adjustable rate mortgages, preferred and debt securities, bonds pledged as collateral, loans,
depository accounts, investments and other interest-bearing instruments. The complaints allege manipulation,
through various means, of certain benchmark interest rates, including USD LIBOR, Yen LIBOR, EURIBOR, CHF LIBOR,
and GBP LIBOR and seek unspecified compensatory and other damages under various legal theories.
USD LIBOR class and individual actions in the US:
Beginning in 2013, putative class actions were filed in US federal
district courts (and subsequently consolidated in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY))
by plaintiffs who engaged in over-the-counter instruments, exchange-traded Eurodollar futures and options, bonds
or loans that referenced USD LIBOR. The complaints allege violations of antitrust law and the Commodities
Exchange Act, as well as breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Following various rulings by the SDNY and the
US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit dismissing certain of the causes of action and allowing others to
proceed, one class action with respect to transactions in over-the-counter instruments and several actions brought
by individual plaintiffs proceeded in the district court. In September 2025, the district court granted defendants’
motion for summary judgment as to all remaining actions. UBS and Credit Suisse previously entered into settlement
agreements in respect of the class actions relating to exchange-traded instruments, bonds and loans. These
settlements have received final court approval, and the actions have been dismissed as to UBS and Credit Suisse.
Other benchmark class actions in the US:
The Yen LIBOR/Euroyen TIBOR, EURIBOR and GBP LIBOR actions have
been dismissed. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissals. In August 2025, the Second Circuit affirmed in part and
reversed in part the district court’s dismissal of the complaint in the EURIBOR action, returning the action to the
district court. In September 2025, the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the complaint in the GBP LIBOR
action.
In January 2023, defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in the CHF LIBOR action. In 2023, the court approved
a settlement by Credit Suisse of the claims against it in this matter. In September 2025, the court dismissed the
complaint against the remaining defendants, including UBS.
Government bonds:
breached European Union antitrust rules between 2007 and 2011 relating to European government bonds. The
European Commission fined UBS EUR 172m, which amount was confirmed on appeal in March 2025. UBS has
appealed to the European Court of Justice.
Credit default swap auction litigation –
in a putative class action filed in federal court in New Mexico alleging manipulation of credit default swap (CDS)
final auction prices. Defendants filed a motion to enforce a previous CDS class action settlement in the SDNY. In
January 2024, the SDNY ruled that, to the extent claims in the New Mexico action arise from conduct prior to
30 June 2014, those claims are barred by the SDNY settlement. The plaintiffs appealed and, in May 2025, the
Second Circuit affirmed the SDNY decision.
With respect to additional matters and jurisdictions not encompassed by the settlements and orders referred to
above, UBS’s balance sheet at 30 September 2025 reflected a provision in an amount that UBS believes to be
appropriate under the applicable accounting standard. As in the case of other matters for which we have established
provisions, the future outflow of resources in respect of such matters cannot be determined with certainty based
on currently available information and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less)
than the provision that we have recognized.

4. Mortgage-related matters
Government and regulatory related matters: DOJ RMBS settlement
LLC (CSS LLC) and its current and former US subsidiaries and US affiliates reached a settlement with the DOJ related
to its legacy Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) business, a business conducted through 2007. The
settlement resolved potential civil claims by the DOJ related to certain of those Credit Suisse entities’ packaging,
marketing, structuring, arrangement, underwriting, issuance and sale of RMBS. Pursuant to the terms of the
settlement a civil monetary penalty was paid to the DOJ in January 2017. The settlement also required the Credit
Suisse entities to provide certain levels of consumer relief measures, including affordable housing payments and
loan forgiveness, and the DOJ and Credit Suisse agreed to the appointment of an independent monitor to oversee
the completion of the consumer relief requirements of the settlement. In August 2025, CSS LLC entered into an
agreement with the DOJ to resolve all of Credit Suisse’s outstanding Consumer Relief Obligations under the 2017
settlement by paying USD 300m.
Civil litigation: Repurchase litigations –
to their roles as issuer, sponsor, depositor, underwriter and/or servicer of RMBS transactions. These cases currently
include repurchase actions by RMBS trusts and/or trustees, in which plaintiffs generally allege breached
representations and warranties in respect of mortgage loans and failure to repurchase such mortgage loans as
required under the applicable agreements. The amounts disclosed below do not reflect actual realized plaintiff
losses to date. Unless otherwise stated, these amounts reflect the original unpaid principal balance amounts as
alleged in these actions.
DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. (DLJ) is a defendant in New York State court in five actions: An action brought by Asset
Backed Securities Corporation Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-HE7 alleges damages of not less than
USD 374m. In December 2023, the court granted in part DLJ’s motion to dismiss, dismissing with prejudice all
notice-based claims; the parties have appealed. An action by Home Equity Asset Trust, Series 2006-8, alleges
damages of not less than USD 436m. An action by Home Equity Asset Trust 2007-1 alleges damages of not less
than USD 420m. In August 2025, the parties agreed to a settlement to resolve this litigation for USD 66.39m. The
settlement is subject to court approval. An action by Home Equity Asset Trust 2007-2 alleges damages of not less
than USD 495m. An action by CSMC Asset-Backed Trust 2007-NC1 does not allege a damages amount.
5. ATA litigation
Since November 2014, a series of lawsuits have been filed against a number of banks, including Credit Suisse, in
the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) and the SDNY alleging claims under the United
States Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. The plaintiffs in each of these
lawsuits are, or are relatives of, victims of various terrorist attacks in Iraq and allege a conspiracy and/or aiding and
abetting based on allegations that various international financial institutions, including the defendants, agreed to
alter, falsify or omit information from payment messages that involved Iranian parties for the express purpose of
concealing the Iranian parties’ financial activities and transactions from detection by US authorities. The lawsuits
allege that this conduct has made it possible for Iran to transfer funds to Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations
actively engaged in harming US military personnel and civilians. In January 2023, the Second Circuit affirmed a
September 2019 ruling by the EDNY granting defendants’ motion to dismiss the first filed lawsuit. In October 2023,
the US Supreme Court denied plaintiffs’ petition for a writ of certiorari, and in September 2025 the EDNY denied
plaintiffs’ motion to vacate the judgment. Of the other seven cases, four are stayed, including one that was
dismissed as to Credit Suisse and most of the bank defendants prior to entry of the stay, and in three cases
defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs’ amended complaints.

6. Customer account matters
Several clients have claimed that a former relationship manager in Switzerland had exceeded his investment
authority in the management of their portfolios, resulting in excessive concentrations of certain exposures and
investment losses. Credit Suisse AG has investigated the claims, as well as transactions among the clients. Credit
Suisse AG filed a criminal complaint against the former relationship manager with the Geneva Prosecutor’s Office
upon which the prosecutor initiated a criminal investigation. Several clients of the former relationship manager also
filed criminal complaints with the Geneva Prosecutor’s Office. In February 2018, the former relationship manager
was sentenced to five years in prison by the Geneva criminal court for fraud, forgery and criminal mismanagement
and ordered to pay damages of approximately USD 130m. On appeal, the Criminal Court of Appeals of Geneva
and, subsequently, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court upheld the main findings of the Geneva criminal court.
Civil lawsuits have been initiated against Credit Suisse AG and / or certain affiliates in various jurisdictions, based
on the findings established in the criminal proceedings against the former relationship manager.
In Singapore, in a now-concluded civil lawsuit, Credit Suisse Trust Limited was ordered to pay USD 461m, including
interest and costs.
In Bermuda, in the civil lawsuit brought against Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd., the Supreme Court of Bermuda
issued a judgment awarding damages of USD 607.35m to the plaintiff. Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. appealed
the decision. In June 2023, the Bermuda Court of Appeal confirmed the award and the Supreme Court of
Bermuda’s finding that Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. breached its contractual and fiduciary duties, but
overturned the finding that Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. made fraudulent misrepresentations. In March 2024,
Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd. was granted leave to appeal the judgment to the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council and a hearing on the appeal was held in June 2025. The Bermuda Court of Appeal also ordered that the
current stay continue pending determination of the appeal on the condition that the damages awarded, plus
interest calculated at the Bermuda statutory rate of 3.5%, remain in the escrow account.
In Switzerland, certain civil lawsuits have been commenced against Credit Suisse AG in the Court of First Instance
of Geneva since March 2023.
7. Mozambique matter
Credit Suisse was subject to investigations by regulatory and enforcement authorities, as well as civil litigation,
regarding certain Credit Suisse entities’ arrangement of loan financing to Mozambique state enterprises, Proindicus
S.A. and Empresa Moçambicana de Atum S.A. (EMATUM), a distribution to private investors of loan participation
notes (LPN) related to the EMATUM financing in September 2013, and certain Credit Suisse entities’ subsequent
role in arranging the exchange of those LPNs for Eurobonds issued by the Republic of Mozambique. In 2019, three
former Credit Suisse employees pleaded guilty in the EDNY to accepting improper personal benefits in connection
with financing transactions carried out with two Mozambique state enterprises.
In October 2021, Credit Suisse reached settlements with the DOJ, the US Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and FINMA to resolve inquiries by these agencies, including findings
that Credit Suisse failed to appropriately organize and conduct its business with due skill and care, and manage
risks. Credit Suisse Group AG entered into a three-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the DOJ in
connection with the criminal information charging Credit Suisse Group AG with conspiracy to commit wire fraud
and Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited (CSSEL) entered into a Plea Agreement and pleaded guilty to one count
of conspiracy to violate the US federal wire fraud statute. Under the terms of the DPA, UBS Group AG (as successor
to Credit Suisse Group AG) continued compliance enhancement and remediation efforts agreed by Credit Suisse,
and undertake additional measures as outlined in the DPA. In January 2025, as permitted under the terms of the
DPA, the DOJ elected to extend the term of the DPA until January 2026.

8. ETN-related litigation
XIV litigation:
of purchasers of VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term Exchange Traded Notes linked to the S&P 500 VIX
Short-Term Futures Index (XIV ETNs). The complaints have been consolidated and asserts claims against Credit
Suisse for violations of various anti-fraud and anti-manipulation provisions of US securities laws arising from a
decline in the value of XIV ETNs in February 2018. On appeal from an order of the SDNY dismissing all claims, the
Second Circuit issued an order that reinstated a portion of the claims. In decisions in March 2023 and February
2025, the court granted class certification for two of the three classes proposed by plaintiffs and denied class
certification of the third proposed class.
9. Bulgarian former clients matter
In December 2020, the Swiss Office of the Attorney General brought charges against Credit Suisse AG and other
parties concerning the diligence and controls applied to a historical relationship with Bulgarian former clients who
are alleged to have laundered funds through Credit Suisse AG accounts. In June 2022, following a trial, Credit
Suisse AG was convicted in the Swiss Federal Criminal Court of certain historical organizational inadequacies in its
anti-money-laundering framework and ordered to pay a fine of CHF 2m. In addition, the court seized certain client
assets in the amount of approximately CHF 12m and ordered Credit Suisse AG to pay a compensatory claim in the
amount of approximately CHF 19m. Credit Suisse AG appealed the decision to the Swiss Federal Court of Appeals.
Following the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, UBS AG confirmed the appeal. In November 2024, the
court issued a judgment that acquitted UBS AG and annulled the fine and compensatory claim ordered by the first
instance court. In February 2025, the court affirmed the acquittal of UBS AG, and the Office of the Attorney General
has appealed the judgment to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. UBS has also appealed, limited to the issue whether
a successor entity by merger can be criminally liable for acts of the predecessor entity. In July 2025, the Swiss Federal
Supreme Court granted the appeal filed by the Office of the Attorney General and ruled that the Swiss Federal
Court of Appeals released its judgment without proper reasoning. The case was remanded to the Swiss Federal
Court of Appeals to deliver a full and reasoned judgment.
10. Archegos
Credit Suisse and UBS have received requests for documents and information in connection with inquiries,
investigations and/or actions relating to their relationships with Archegos Capital Management (Archegos),
including from FINMA (assisted by a third party appointed by FINMA), the DOJ, the SEC, the US Federal Reserve,
the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the US Senate Banking Committee, the Prudential
Regulation Authority (PRA), the FCA, the WEKO, the Hong Kong Competition Commission and other regulatory
and governmental agencies. UBS is cooperating with the authorities in these matters. In July 2023, CSI and CSSEL
entered into a settlement agreement with the PRA providing for the resolution of the PRA’s investigation. Also in
July 2023, FINMA issued a decree ordering remedial measures and the Federal Reserve Board issued an Order to
Cease and Desist. Under the terms of the order, Credit Suisse paid a civil money penalty and agreed to undertake
certain remedial measures relating to counterparty credit risk management, liquidity risk management and non-
financial risk management, as well as enhancements to board oversight and governance. UBS Group, as the legal
successor to Credit Suisse Group AG, is a party to the FINMA decree and Federal Reserve Board Cease and Desist
Order.
Civil actions relating to Credit Suisse’s relationship with Archegos have been filed against Credit Suisse and/or
certain officers and directors, including claims for breaches of fiduciary duties. In one such case, the parties agreed
in July 2025 to a settlement of USD 115m. Because the action was brought by shareholders on behalf of and for
the benefit of Credit Suisse, after deducting any Court-awarded attorneys’ fees and expenses and any applicable
taxes, the cash recovery for the settlement will go to UBS, as successor to Credit Suisse, and will result in a net
recovery for UBS.

Comparison between UBS AG consolidated and UBS Group AG consolidated
Comparison between UBS AG
consolidated and UBS Group AG
consolidated
The table below provides a comparison of selected financial and capital information of UBS AG consolidated and
of UBS Group AG consolidated.
UBS AG and UBS Group AG both prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting
Standards. UBS Group AG has applied acquisition accounting as defined by IFRS 3,
Business Combinations
, to the
acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group in 2023. The merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG on 31 May 2024 has
been accounted for as a business combination under common control, as defined in IFRS 3, using the historic
carrying values of the assets and liabilities of Credit Suisse AG as at the date of the transaction (31 May 2024),
determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Therefore, differences exist between the accounting treatments
applied at the UBS Group AG and UBS AG consolidated levels. There are also certain scope and presentation
differences, as noted below.

statements” section of the UBS AG Annual Report 2024, available under “Annual reporting” at

,
for more information about the accounting for the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG
Assets, liabilities, revenues, operating expenses and tax expenses / (benefits) relating to UBS Group AG and its
directly held subsidiaries, including UBS Business Solutions AG, are reflected in the consolidated financial statements
of UBS Group AG but not in those of UBS AG. UBS AG’s assets, liabilities, revenues and operating expenses related
to transactions with UBS Group AG and its directly held subsidiaries, including UBS Business Solutions AG and other
shared services subsidiaries, are not subject to elimination in the UBS AG consolidated financial statements, but are
eliminated in the UBS Group AG consolidated financial statements.
In the third quarter of 2025, UBS AG consolidated recognized a net profit of USD 1,294m, while UBS Group AG
consolidated recognized a net profit of USD 2,487m. The USD 1,193m difference was mainly due to certain
purchase price allocation (PPA) effects recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit
Suisse Group. These resulted in net accretion income at the UBS Group AG level, net of tax effects, whereas UBS AG
has not applied acquisition accounting and does not have the PPA effects or the corresponding net income. The
PPA effects also resulted in net releases for litigation, regulatory and similar matters for UBS Group AG (while
UBS AG incurred net expenses). Other differences in net profit mainly arise as UBS Business Solutions AG and other
shared services subsidiaries of UBS Group AG charge other legal entities within the UBS AG consolidation scope a
markup on costs incurred for services provided.
As of 30 September 2025, the total assets of UBS AG consolidated were USD 1.6bn higher than the total assets of
UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference mainly reflected PPA effects recognized at the UBS Group AG level
upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group, partly offset by consolidation scope differences. The total liabilities
of UBS AG consolidated were USD 3.8bn lower than the total liabilities of UBS Group AG, mainly due to
consolidation scope differences and PPA effects.
The equity of UBS AG consolidated was USD 5.4bn higher than the equity of UBS Group AG consolidated as of
30 September 2025. This difference was mainly due to consolidation scope differences of USD 2.8bn and PPA
effects of USD 2.4bn recognized at the UBS Group AG level upon the acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group that
did not impact UBS AG consolidated, primarily related to loans and loan commitments measured at amortized cost
and contingent liabilities recognized under IFRS 3 for litigation, partly offset by PPA effects on real estate and debt
issued.
The going concern capital of UBS AG consolidated was USD 3.5bn lower than the going concern capital of
UBS Group AG consolidated as of 30 September 2025, reflecting the common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital of
UBS AG being lower by USD 3.2bn and going concern loss-absorbing additional tier 1 (AT1) capital being
USD 0.3bn lower.
UBS AG third quarter 2025 report |
Comparison between UBS AG consolidated and UBS Group AG consolidated
The USD 3.2bn lower CET1 capital of UBS AG consolidated was primarily due to a USD 12.2bn difference in
dividend accruals between UBS AG and UBS Group AG, partly offset by UBS Group AG consolidated equity being
USD 5.4bn lower, compensation-related regulatory capital accruals at the UBS Group AG level of USD 2.3bn, a
capital reserve for expected future share repurchases of USD 0.9bn and a USD 0.4bn effect from eligible deferred
tax assets on temporary differences.
The quarterly average liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) of UBS AG consolidated was 3.2 percentage points lower
than the quarterly average LCR of UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference mainly reflected the higher net cash
outflows of UBS AG consolidated from intercompany deposits and loans that are not within the Group
consolidation scope but are within the UBS AG consolidation scope.
The net stable funding ratio (the NSFR) of UBS AG consolidated was 1.1 percentage points lower than the NSFR of
UBS Group AG consolidated. The difference primarily reflected lower UBS AG consolidated eligible regulatory
capital as compared to UBS Group AG consolidated.

Alternative performance measures
An alternative performance measure (an APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance,
financial position or cash flows other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable recognized
accounting standards or in other applicable regulations. A number of APMs are reported in the discussion of the
financial and operating performance of the external reports (annual, quarterly and other reports). APMs are used
to provide a more complete picture of operating performance and to reflect management’s view of the fundamental
drivers of the business results. A definition of each APM, the method used to calculate it and the information
content are presented in alphabetical order in the table below. These APMs may qualify as non-GAAP measures as
defined by US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.

Appendix 76
Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements |
not limited to management’s outlook for UBS’s financial performance, statements relating to the anticipated effect of transactions and strategic initiatives on
UBS’s business and future development and goals. While these forward-looking statements represent UBS’s judgments, expectations and objectives concerning
the matters described, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from UBS’s
expectations. In particular, the global economy may suffer significant adverse effects from increasing political tensions between world powers, changes to
international trade policies, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers, and evolving conditions in the Middle East, as well as the continuing Russia–
Ukraine war. UBS’s acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group has materially changed its outlook and strategic direction and introduced new operational challenges.
The integration of the Credit Suisse entities into the UBS structure is expected to continue through 2026 and presents significant operational and execution risk,
including the risks that UBS may be unable to achieve the cost reductions and business benefits contemplated by the transaction, that it may incur higher costs
to execute the integration of Credit Suisse and that the acquired business may have greater risks or liabilities, including those related to litigation, than expected.
Following the failure of Credit Suisse, Switzerland is considering significant changes to its capital, resolution and regulatory regime, which, if adopted, would
significantly increase our capital requirements or impose other costs on UBS. These factors create greater uncertainty about forward-looking statements. Other
factors that may affect UBS’s performance and ability to achieve its plans, outlook and other objectives also include, but are not limited to: (i) the degree to which
UBS is successful in the execution of its strategic plans, including its cost reduction and efficiency initiatives and its ability to manage its levels of risk-weighted
assets (RWA) and leverage ratio denominator (LRD), liquidity coverage ratio and other financial resources, including changes in RWA assets and liabilities arising
from higher market volatility and the size of the combined Group; (ii) the degree to which UBS is successful in implementing changes to its businesses to meet
changing market, regulatory and other conditions, including any potential changes to banking examination and oversight practices and standards as a result of
executive branch orders or staff interpretations of law in the US; (iii) inflation and interest rate volatility in major markets; (iv) developments in the macroeconomic
climate and in the markets in which UBS operates or to which it is exposed, including movements in securities prices or liquidity, credit spreads, currency exchange
rates, residential and commercial real estate markets, general economic conditions, and changes to national trade policies on the financial position or
creditworthiness of UBS’s clients and counterparties, as well as on client sentiment and levels of activity; (v) changes in the availability of capital and funding,
including any adverse changes in UBS’s credit spreads and credit ratings of UBS, as well as availability and cost of funding,
including as affected by the marketability
of a current additional tier one debt instrument, to meet requirements for debt eligible for total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC); (vi) changes in and potential
divergence between central bank policies or the implementation of financial legislation and regulation in Switzerland, the US, the UK, the EU and other financial
centers that have imposed, or resulted in, or may do so in the future, more stringent or entity-specific capital, TLAC, leverage ratio, net stable funding ratio,
liquidity and funding requirements, heightened operational resilience requirements, incremental tax requirements, additional levies, limitations on permitted
activities, constraints on remuneration, constraints on transfers of capital and liquidity and sharing of operational costs across the Group or other measures, and
the effect these will or would have on UBS’s business activities; (vii) UBS’s ability to successfully implement resolvability and related regulatory requirements and
the potential need to make further changes to the legal structure or booking model of UBS in response to legal and regulatory requirements including heightened
requirements and expectations due to its acquisition of the Credit Suisse Group; (viii) UBS’s ability to maintain and improve its systems and controls for complying
with sanctions in a timely manner and for the detection and prevention of money laundering to meet evolving regulatory requirements and expectations, in
particular in the current geopolitical turmoil; (ix) the uncertainty arising from domestic stresses in certain major economies; (x) changes in UBS’s competitive
position, including whether differences in regulatory capital and other requirements among the major financial centers adversely affect UBS’s ability to compete
in certain lines of business; (xi) changes in the standards of conduct applicable to its businesses that may result from new regulations or new enforcement of
existing standards, including measures to impose new and enhanced duties when interacting with customers and in the execution and handling of customer
transactions; (xii) the liability to which UBS may be exposed, or possible constraints or sanctions that regulatory authorities might impose on UBS, due to litigation,
including litigation it has inherited by virtue of the acquisition of Credit Suisse, contractual claims and regulatory investigations, including the potential for
disqualification from certain businesses, potentially large fines or monetary penalties, or the loss of licenses or privileges as a result of regulatory or other
governmental sanctions, as well as the effect that litigation, regulatory and similar matters have on the operational risk component of its RWA; (xiii) UBS’s ability
to retain and attract the employees necessary to generate revenues and to manage, support and control its businesses, which may be affected by competitive
factors; (xiv) changes in accounting or tax standards or policies, and determinations or interpretations affecting the recognition of gain or loss, the valuation of
goodwill, the recognition of deferred tax assets and other matters; (xv) UBS’s ability to implement new technologies and business methods, including digital
services, artificial intelligence and other technologies, and ability to successfully compete with both existing and new financial service providers, some of which
may not be regulated to the same extent; (xvi) limitations on the effectiveness of UBS’s internal processes for risk management, risk control, measurement and
modeling, and of financial models generally; (xvii) the occurrence of operational failures, such as fraud, misconduct, unauthorized trading, financial crime,
cyberattacks, data leakage and systems failures, the risk of which is increased with persistently high levels of cyberattack threats; (xviii) restrictions on the ability
of UBS Group AG, UBS AG and regulated subsidiaries of UBS AG to make payments or distributions, including due to restrictions on the ability of its subsidiaries
to make loans or distributions, directly or indirectly, or, in the case of financial difficulties, due to the exercise by FINMA or the regulators of UBS’s operations in
other countries of their broad statutory powers in relation to protective measures, restructuring and liquidation proceedings; (xix) the degree to which changes
in regulation, capital or legal structure, financial results or other factors may affect UBS’s ability to maintain its stated capital return objective; (xx) uncertainty
over the scope of actions that may be required by UBS, governments and others for UBS to achieve goals relating to climate, environmental and social matters,
as well as the evolving nature of underlying science and industry and the increasing divergence among regulatory regimes; (xxi) the ability of UBS to access capital
markets; (xxii) the ability of UBS to successfully recover from a disaster or other business continuity problem due to a hurricane, flood, earthquake, terrorist attack,
war, conflict, pandemic, security breach, cyberattack, power loss, telecommunications failure or other natural or man-made event; and (xxiii) the effect that these
or other factors or unanticipated events, including media reports and speculations, may have on its reputation and the additional consequences that this may
have on its business and performance. The sequence in which the factors above are presented is not indicative of their likelihood of occurrence or the potential
magnitude of their consequences. UBS’s business and financial performance could be affected by other factors identified in its past and future filings and reports,
including those filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). More detailed information about those factors is set forth in documents
furnished by UBS and filings made by UBS with the SEC, including the UBS Group AG and UBS AG Annual Reports on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December
2024. UBS is not under any obligation to (and expressly disclaims any obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise.
